Knowledge multimedia processes in technology enhanced learning

Success of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) depends on the careful engineering of multimedia and the related communication/collaboration features. Particularly, at engineering TEL environments for professionals and scientists in many disciplines, it is crucial to enable the system to reflect the nature of knowledge creating discourses in these domains. For that purpose, it is necessary to fully understand the occurring multimedia operations and knowledge sharing aspects involved in
the learning processes. TEL environments therefore need to reflect the nature of the underlying knowledge creation processes and their discourses. This paper describes a media theoretical approach to TEL which is capable of synthesizing multimedia operations and knowledge sharing aspects involved in TEL.
